Get Access To All JobsAbout the Team
The Autonomy Development Platform (ADP) team builds the foundational tools and infrastructure that allow Zoox to define, validate, and scale driving excellence. We empower AI, QA, and Mapping teams to rapidly iterate on the core pillars of our performance: Safety, Progress, and Comfort. Our mission is to transform complex fleet and simulation data into a high-velocity development loop, ensuring every software release is more performant and rider-ready than the last.
The Role
As the Technical Product Manager for Autonomy Performance & Data, you will be the architect of the developer experience for Zoox’s AI engineers. Your goal is to increase AI developer "Quality of Life" and efficiency by ensuring our engineers can get more done with less manual overhead.
You will own the end to end lifecycle of how we measure and curate data. This includes modernizing and unifying our experimentation platforms and building the discovery tools that find "needles in the haystack" across petabytes of sensor data. This is a high impact role that sits at the intersection of Perception, Prediction, and Planning, ensuring that the right code gets merged and our autonomous stack stays ahead of the curve.
Responsibilities
- Unify the Experimentation Ecosystem: Define and execute the strategy to consolidate disparate performance measurement and metrics tools into a single, authoritative platform for all Autonomy engineers.
- Scale the Data Flywheel: Own the roadmap for large scale data management and mining tools. Enable engineers to discover critical edge cases and curate the high impact datasets needed to train and measure Zoox’s state of the art models.
- Accelerate Developer Velocity: Build high fidelity A/B testing and comparative analysis tools that allow developers to validate branch level changes with high confidence before hitting a Pull Request.
- Drive AI Developer Efficiency: Act as the primary advocate for the AI engineering community. Identify workflow bottlenecks and deliver a roadmap that increases developer efficiency and ensures high quality code merges.
- Bridge Technical Domains: Partner deeply with Perception and Behavioral AI leads to translate complex algorithmic requirements into a scalable tool strategy that measures and elevates driving performance.
Qualifications
- Technical Product Leadership: 5+ years of experience as a TPM or PM, specifically within internal tools, developer platforms, or AI/ML infrastructure.
- Domain Expertise: Deep familiarity with the ML development lifecycle, including data curation, model training, and performance evaluation (metrics/KPIs).
- Data Fluency: Comfortable engaging with engineers on data pipelines, large scale search (e.g., embeddings or metadata mining), and quantitative analysis.
- Strategic Execution: Proven track record of managing complex technical migrations and modernizing legacy toolsets without disrupting team velocity.
- User Centric Mindset: A passion for "Developer Experience" and a drive to build tools that make engineering teams more productive and satisfied.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Product Manager Jobs at Zoox Jobs
Frame your PM credentials around safety-critical systems
Zoox evaluates Software PMs on experience owning roadmaps for complex, safety-dependent software. Translate prior work into outcomes tied to reliability, failure modes, or cross-functional technical delivery to match what autonomous vehicle development demands.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Software PM roles by visa type
Sponsorship eligibility varies by role level and team at Zoox. Use Migrate Mate to filter open Software Product Manager positions by the visa categories Zoox supports, so you're targeting postings where your status is already a fit.
Align your specialty occupation case before the H-1B petition
USCIS scrutinizes H-1B petitions for Product Manager titles because the role must meet specialty occupation standards. Ensure your offer letter specifies a degree requirement in a directly related field like computer science, engineering, or human-computer interaction.
Negotiate your start date around LCA and petition timelines
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before submitting any H-1B petition. For cap-subject filings, the earliest possible start date is October 1. Build this into your offer negotiation, not after you've signed.
Distinguish yourself through autonomous systems domain knowledge
Zoox's Software PM hiring at the senior level consistently prioritizes candidates who understand perception, planning, or fleet operations software. Candidates without AV or robotics context often advance more slowly through screening, so surface relevant domain experience explicitly in your application materials.

Find Software Product Manager at Zoox JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Zoox sponsor H-1B visas for Software Product Managers?
Yes, Zoox sponsors H-1B visas for Software Product Manager roles. The H-1B is the most common path for international candidates in this function. Because Software PM roles must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, your offer letter should clearly state a specific degree requirement in a related technical field, not a general preference.
How do I apply for Software Product Manager jobs at Zoox?
You can browse and apply for Software Product Manager openings at Zoox directly through their careers site or through Migrate Mate, which filters Zoox's open roles by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm your status is supported before applying. Zoox's PM hiring process typically includes a recruiter screen, a product case or strategy exercise, and multiple cross-functional interviews with engineering and operations stakeholders.
Which visa types does Zoox commonly sponsor for Software Product Manager roles?
Zoox sponsors a range of visa categories for this role, including H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, TN, EB-2, EB-3, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and J-1. The right category depends on your nationality and current status. Australian citizens often pursue the E-3, Canadian and Mexican nationals the TN, and candidates on F-1 OPT can typically start while an H-1B petition is pending through cap-gap protection.
What qualifications does Zoox expect for a sponsored Software Product Manager?
Zoox typically expects a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, engineering, or a closely related technical field for Software PM roles, which also supports the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B and E-3 petitions. Beyond credentials, they prioritize candidates with experience managing software roadmaps in complex technical environments, with autonomous systems, robotics, or safety-critical software experience viewed favorably at mid-to-senior levels.
How do I time a visa transfer or new petition if I'm already working in the U.S.?
If you're transferring from another employer, your new H-1B petition can be filed under portability rules, meaning you can start at Zoox once USCIS receives the petition, without waiting for approval. For F-1 OPT transitions to H-1B, cap-gap protection extends your work authorization through September 30 of the lottery year if your OPT expires during that window.
